§ 21-23. Beer permits.

(a)

The preserve, except such areas as may be otherwise designated and posted, shall be considered a public recreation area for purposes of Title 4 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, relating to alcoholic beverages.

(b)

No person or members of a group or organization shall consume beer from an open container, or possess an open container of beer, in the preserve without first having obtained a permit pursuant to this section. Beer means any beverage obtained by the alcoholic fermentation, infusion or decoction of barley, malt, hops, or other ingredients not drinkable, or any combination of them.

(c)

A condition of any permit shall be that the person or member of a group subject to the permit shall comply with all state liquor laws. The person to whom the beer permit has been issued must be present for the permit to be valid and the permit must be displayed at the request of any preserve employee or police officer. A permit is invalid in any preserve areas where the consumption or possession of beer is prohibited by the city.

(d)

Application for a beer permit shall contain the applicant's name, address, telephone number, date of birth and age and the number of persons to which the permit will apply. The applicant shall show proof of age in one of the following forms: (i) an unexpired driver's license issued by any of the United States or Canada, provided such license includes a picture of the licensee; (ii) a nonoperating identification license issued by the State of Arizona; (iii) an armed forces identification card; or (iv) a valid unexpired passport. When applying for a permit by phone or other means, the only acceptable form of identification is an unexpired driver's license issued by any state or a nonoperating identification license issued by the State of Arizona. The applicant must provide the number and any additional license information to the reservation agent.

(e)

An application for a beer permit shall be accompanied by a fee of five dollars ($5.00). Upon the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this section, the city shall issue a permit, which shall be valid for one day only, which shall be shown on the permit.

(f)

The beer permit shall be revocable by the preserve director for any violation of this article, any provision of the state liquor laws, or any other condition of the permit. Any person who has had a permit revoked by the city shall not be entitled to apply for another such permit until the expiration of sixty (60) days from the date such revocation occurred.
